The Astros were SHOCKED in the lack of interest in Myers

1) Would trade Wandy if a team claimed him on waivers, but also feel like they could trade him in the off-season.

2) Were shocked - SHOCKED - in the lack of interest in Brett Myers.

Which would lead one to wonder why that was the case. He's giving up a full 1.2 hits/9 more than 2010, and his homerun rate has doubled. If the Astros were to be shocked at any point in Brett Myers' run with the Astros, it should have been last year.

Myers is only a Major League pitcher because he plays for the Astros. Just like having Nelson Figeroa in the start of the season. The Astros today are a AAA team at best. We need new managment including getting rid of Mills. That they were SHOCKED is more surprising.

On a more rational note, assuming the report is true, I would imagine the shock might come mainly from the lack of interest from teams with pitcher-friendly parks... Detroit springs to mind as a team that maybe would have been reasonably thought to be interested.
